Ritz Carlton Kapalua Take Me Away…

A two minute walk to Kapalua Bay Beach, the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua is a five diamond hotel that oozes luxury and honors the traditions and natural beauty of Hawaii. The oceanfront hotel introduces its guests to the culture of Maui while pampering them with luxury amenities nestled within the pristine 22,000-acre Kapalua Resort that offer 463 hotel rooms and 6 dining experiences, a pool, a spa, recreational activities, two championship golf course, beautiful balcony views and a shuttle service.

We had the wonderful opportunity a while back to visit Maui and I really had a hard time leaving this beautiful Kapalua destination. Even though Maui offers sparkling beaches, to-die-for sunsets, locavore dining and super fun adventures, I truly just wanted to stay here in awe of what felt like my very own paradise.

The Kapalua Day Spa provides personal spa therapies that draw on local plants, flowers, fruits and herbs cultivated in their own organic garden. Talk about divine organic VIP treatment! Private cabanas are also available for couple’s treatments. The pool on property was the best place to relax after a few good services at the spa. I recommend the Organic MangoSteen facial and a relaxing spa pedicure. Be sure to then reserve a cabana at the pool for a day of relaxation after you’ve been pampered.

Named America’s Best Beach in 1991, Kapalua Bay Beach is just a romantic walk away from The Ritz and is still a dream. That’s one good thing about most Hawaiian destinations, the communities typically protect their naturally beautiful destinations and they stay beautiful year after year. The beach is protected by rocky outcrops on both sides and the result is a shallow u-shaped beach in the middle that takes your breath away. It’s also a great beach for snorkeling and wave gazing.
